Galanthus reginae-olgae 'Blanc de Chine' but less blanc than is usual...

Quite a few Galanthus reginae-olgae flowering now and this Galanthus elwesii 'Kinn McIntosh' which is a nice, strongly-marked flower;

I've read that Bob Brown of Cotswold Garden plants found this in the garden of the person for whom it is named - in 1946 !! Bob must be older than I thought!!

Galanthus reginae-olgae ‘Tilebarn Jamie’ - an essential; very easy to please and generous of flower

and the dainty form of Galanthus reginae-olgae sold as Galanthus corcyrensis - small but beautifully scented.

Could just be different microclimates I suppose, there will always be some variation in flowering time dependent on growing conditions. Or that one or other of us have been sold a not-Tilebarn Jamie which probably happens more frequently than you would wish. Or more worryingly yours may have been nibbled by the larvae of narcissus fly or swift moth, which sadly definitely happens more frequently than anyone would wish! Is yours in a pot or the ground? I'd live in hope and give it another couple of weeks but if it is not nosing up then do some gentle investigations...

Wow, that pot of tilebarn jamie is looking beautiful! Mine are just before flowering.

G. reginae-olgae 'Uranium', can actually see the green tinge on this without problem. My pink panther flower got eaten this year, but never clearly saw the tinge anyways..

My Pink Panther' is still in a pot under cold glass - as is 'Blanc de Chine'
Pink Panther is a little behind yours ( looking rather white.creamy so far) while Blanc de Chine is just open. :)

Do let me know if this is as strongly scented as they say...
